Oliver Glasner gave his thoughts on a 3-1 defeat for Crystal Palace against Liverpool.
Palace have been a thorn in the side of the Reds ever since the Austrian arrived in South London. He led the team to a 1-1 draw against the newly crowned Premier League champions in May 2025.
Then the players put on a memorable performance to claim the Community Shield through a penalty shootout in August, and a 2-1 victory followed at Selhurst Park at the end of September. That triumph marked the start of the demise for the title holders, who were beaten 3-0 on their patch by the Eagles in the Carabao Cup at the end of October. The target was a historic fourth victory against the Reds in a single campaign, but the Merseyside outfit got the better of Glasner on this occasion.
‘I think it was our best performance here’
Glasner’s men watched Alexander Isak and Andy Robertson convert the first two shots on target in a game where the Eagles lacked the efficiency to cash in on their opportunities. Daniel Munoz halved the deficit, but Florian Wirtz restored the two-goal advantage through a powerful last-minute volley.
“The difference was the efficiency. I think it was our best performance here against Liverpool
*"The Liverpool goalkeeper [**Freddie Woodman*] had the day of his life so congratulations to him. We kept believing until the end. It was really positive and this is what we take into the final weeks.
*"I told them that I think it was our best performance here against Liverpool. We were competitive here today. I showed them the stats. We were 2-0 down at half-time, and you could say 'we rest our power for the Conference League semi-final' then maybe lose 4-0, or something, but we didn't.*
Glasner takes positives into final weeks
"This performance will give us a lot of confidence for the rest of the season.
*"It was a difficult situation because he [**Freddie Woodman**] made a big save but the ball goes to Daniel Munoz. Everything goes so quickly. He could continue the game until the end and that's why we think it was the right decision. I think that this was okay."*
